high spring


bud left this earth yesterday, and i know awaiting him was the woman he always called his bride, maxine. i can't imagine with all my heart and mind a sweeter reunion than them being together again.

these photo's reminded me of grandpa's favorite past time, his vegetable garden and his rose beds. if he wasn't reading the paper with is cup of coffee at 7am, he was out looking at and tending his soil and crop..and whistling away.

today was an exceptionally beautiful day in sf, and i couldn't take my mind and heart away from the memories of laughter and pure joy spent in the garden with bud. priceless indeed.

thanks for your kind thoughts and words. it is a gentle relief for bud and us all.
he had an amazing and wonderful long life(96). his mind left him shortly after maxine died 3 years ago. after 71 years together i think he was just lost and heart broken.
